Road goodies icons smaller or display under other objects
I understand the incentive idea of road goodies, and also understand you can just turn them off. But I would prefer another option which is either to make them smaller in size or be "under" other items (IE: roads, route, traffic coloring, etc.)

Voice Instructions: Bear Right, Keep Right
Voice navigation instructions use "Keep Right (Left) in 2 conditions making it a bit confusing: When on an undivided road approaching a divided section of the same road, and when approaching an intersection with a gradual right (left) turn. "Bear Right (Left)" would be a more appropriate instruction for the 2d situation.

ROADWORK: leverage roadwork feed from Swedish transport administration
In Sweden, public feeds of roadwork and traffic events (accidents) are available at no charge on the internet.
Please enable the display of these in the waze client. They could also be used for improved routing.

Let users customize auto tweets such as "Acabo de reportar una redada policial, ..."
Traffic enforcement corps are different from country to country so it might be a good idea to let users tweak their auto tweets a little. They might have the application configured in a language but tweet in another, etc.

Snap "Broken Traffic Light" reports to the nearest light & restrict outside valid zones
Currently, users can report "Broken Traffic Light" anywhere, which leads to spam, point-farming, and incorrect placements on highways or open roads with no traffic lights.
Since traffic lights are now an official feature in the Waze Map Editor, the reporting system should be updated:
Snap to Traffic Light Node: To account for delayed reporting while driving, clicking "Broken Traffic Light" should automatically attach the alert to the nearest registered traffic light node passed recently, instead of the driver's current position down the road.
Restrict Invalid Locations: If no traffic light node exists nearby, disable the option or display a message: "No registered traffic light near this location."
This will eliminate point spam, keep the map accurate, and allow drivers to submit reports safely after clearing the intersection.Currently, users can report "Broken Traffic Light" anywhere, which leads to spam, point-farming, and incorrect placements on highways or open roads with no traffic lights.

Keep Lake Ontario. Stand for the character of America as a gracious, strong nation. I will delete in 1 wk
I only want to be associated with companies who put good values over intimidation and bullying. I am a political independent and a proud American. Love America, and stand up for what is right. I am a long time Waze user who will delete my account if Waze does not change the name of Lake Ontario back. Making America great is the same as making a person great - it means making us more good, virtuous, and just, using our strength to lift up all nations. Corporate responsibility means doing your part. Goodbye.

Label Lake Ontario
Do the right thing and label it Lake Ontario. The name given to it by the people of this land - and I’m not referring to its current occupants. Do better.

More community-driven feature
Hello Waze,
I’ve been thinking about something that could be a nice addition to the app.
Waze is already very community-driven through map editing, traffic reports, road alerts, and more. I think it would be great to bring that community spirit into other parts of the app as well.
One idea iscommunity-created custom icons. Users could create, upload, and share their own icons, while others could rate and comment on them. This could lead to unique artwork, memes, seasonal designs, local themes, and other creative ideas.
Another idea could be community-created backgrounds that users could use to further customize their Waze experience.
The rewards we already earn from reporting traffic, police, hazards, and other events could potentially be converted into tokens. These tokens could then be used to unlock or “purchase” community-created icons, backgrounds, and other customization options. So far qhen we report, we only get points so we can unlock achievements which is kinda blank, this i feel could add more functionalities.
This could give the community another reason to contribute, while also making Waze more personal, fun, and creative.
I’m sure there could be many more ideas around this concept, but I think this would be a great place to start.
What do you think?

Enable Toyota instrument cluster navigation
New Toyota vehicles like Corolla 2023+, latest C-HR, and similar cars have the ability to partially show navigation on the instrument cluster in front of the steering wheel. For example turn right after 150 meters. This works with Google Maps, but not with Waze. Waze has implemented this functionality in the beginning of the year 2025, but not for Toyota vehicles. Please add support for Toyota.

Compass carplay
Add the simple compass to the display in CarPlay. My car does not have a built in compass, but does have its own GPS that does show it, but I prefer to use Waze. It would be nice to have the compass in Waze.

Bring back "Reports Ahead" on Android Auto
Bring back "Reports Ahead" on Android Auto. Latest update removed option to see the list of Reports Ahead. Seeing these is critical when you are route planning. Especially on the fly when there is traffic, closed roads, accidents, etc. Specifically in Subarus but I'm guessing other auto brands too.

Show trip history for the same destination
It would be very useful if Waze could show a user’s previous driving history to the same destination.
Today, Waze only shows a small history/search icon for places that appeared in my past searches or navigation history. However, this does not provide enough useful information about when I actually drove there or how long the drive took.
The main benefit would be the ability to quickly see when I last drove to that destination. For example, if I search for a place I visited before, Waze could show the last time I navigated there, along with previous trips to the same destination.
This could include:
● The date and time of the last trip
● Previous trips to the same destination
● The actual driving time for each trip
● Average travel time based on my own history
● Best and worst travel times I personally experienced
This would help users remember when they last visited a place, and also better understand how long the drive usually takes for them based on their own real driving history - not only based on current traffic estimates.
For destinations I visit from time to time, such as family, work, school, appointments, or places I do not visit regularly, this feature could make trip planning and personal tracking much easier.
יהיה שימושי מאוד אם Waze תוכל להציג למשתמש את היסטוריית הנסיעות הקודמות שלו לאותו יעד.
כיום, Waze מציגה רק אייקון קטן של היסטוריית חיפוש עבור מקומות שהופיעו בחיפושים או בניווטים קודמים שלי. עם זאת, המידע הזה לא מספק מספיק ערך שימושי לגבי מתי באמת נסעתי לשם או כמה זמן הנסיעה לקחה.
היתרון המרכזי יהיה האפשרות לראות במהירות מתי בפעם האחרונה נסעתי לאותו יעד. לדוגמה, אם אני מחפש מקום שכבר ביקרתי בו בעבר, Waze תוכל להציג את הפעם האחרונה שבה ניווטתי לשם, יחד עם נסיעות קודמות לאותו יעד.
המידע יכול לכלול:
- התאריך והשעה של הנסיעה האחרונה
- נסיעות קודמות לאותו יעד
- זמן הנסיעה בפועל בכל נסיעה
- זמן נסיעה ממוצע על בסיס ההיסטוריה האישית שלי
- זמני הנסיעה הטובים והגרועים ביותר שחוויתי באופן אישי
זה יעזור למשתמשים לזכור מתי הם ביקרו לאחרונה במקום מסוים, וגם להבין טוב יותר כמה זמן הנסיעה לשם בדרך כלל לוקחת עבורם, על בסיס היסטוריית הנסיעות האישית שלהם - ולא רק על בסיס הערכות תנועה נוכחיות.
עבור יעדים שאני מבקר בהם מדי פעם, כמו משפחה, עבודה, בית ספר, פגישות, או מקומות שאינני מבקר בהם באופן קבוע, הפיצ׳ר הזה יכול להפוך את תכנון הנסיעה והמעקב האישי להרבה יותר קלים.

Automatically adjust the size of the text for turn instructions for longer text to fit more on the screen
Currently if there is text in the visual instructions or towards that is really long, Waze will end up cutting off important information that could be useful in Android Auto.
My suggestion is to make this text be automatically adjusted so more can fit on the screen but can still be readable with the naked eye.
I'm not sure what is exactly the best way to go about this but currently I find it not as user friendly as it could be considering us editors try our best to get all the information out there only for like a fair bit of it to be cut off with the current UI design.

Report temporary traffic lights using MapMate should generate a roadworks hazard not a UR
In the UK, when we have roadworks with an incursion onto the carriageway, they are often accompanied by temporary multi-way traffic lights. This allows the road to remain open, while controlling traffic flow over a narrow than normal bit of open road.
Since the introduction of MapMate reporting, we have noticed an increase in MapMate URs coming in referring to the presence of temporary traffic lights. This should not generate a UR, and should generate a "roadworks" hazard report.
I have raised this on the Waze Discuss MapMate thread, but it has been suggested that this feature is not on the roadmap yet. Adding this on here, as suggested by a UK Country Administrator.
